Strawberry Sin is the 2nd Mission Inn Possible mystery by Rosie A Point. While the premise of a retired grandmother who was a spy and her granddaughter, a spy in hiding, working to solve murder mysteries is a bit of a stretch even for cozy mysteries, the stories are still entertaining. Small-town life is made even more humorous when the town is Gossip, TX. Charlotte and her Gamma, Georgina, find themselves embroiled in another murder investigation which makes it difficult for Charlotte to keep a low profile and hide from her revenge-seeking ex. The clues are well constructed and the means by which they solve the case without acknowledging they were the ones to figure it out is well done. If you are looking for an enjoyable quick read this series is a good option. I have a 3 book compilation from Kindle Unlimited right now and the 3rd book fit perfectly into the April mini-challenges I am doing for 52 book club.
Strawberry Sin by Rosie A. Point
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
An enjoyable cozy with a bit of spy tactics thrown in. Charlotte is hiding undercover in Texas while on Hiatus from her career as a spy. Her retired spy grandmother has an inn i the town of Gossip. Believe me the small town residents like to gossip. This plus the murders that keep happening are making it hard for Charlotte to stay hidden. Her agency sends in her partner to act as a handler which adds one more person to hide her sleuthing from. Of course the irony of Agent Smulder’s arrival right at Valentine’s Day adds to the plot line. While being a light hearted mystery with some cliche moments the story is fin and the mystery is enjoyable to unravel. Looking forward to the next in the series
